Also my Youth Academy popped to Excellent today. Was hoping that would give me a decent Pull, but all it gave me was a 16yr old Ordinary Fast bowler, who will one day make a bit of money for my squad, but probably never play.

Also, my 17yo Dutchman popped to average bat and ordinary technique. (Given that the rest of the team are all Zimboks, with the exception of Wilkes, it might be trouble when internationals come around.)

With all my top youth players in seniors now, the youth squad looks quite average. Primary wise seniors and youth are about the same, seniors just have better tech and endurance. Kountouri is my YP, I got a couple other average bowlers, but we really lack fast bowlers in the squad so I picked him ahead of the two average spinners.

Im going to keep all my youth players in the Youth squad until they turn 19, dont see the point in promoting them early, although i am pumping money into my youth academy, currently at excellent, so that is the main reason ill keep them there.

Well obviously you have to promote them eventually, I think ideally you wanna promote the odd 18yo towards the end of the season rather than having a bunch of them being promoted at once when they all hit 19.

Main reason I did that was cus I had half my good U19 players in seniors and youth. We had 3-4 good guys at start, which was strange. Didn't see the point in having half in one squad and half in the other squad. Atleast this way I can see what my best side now and develop players to fill the holes. I was finding it really hard to figure out who were long term players the other way. If it wasn't for the fact we started with 3-4 in seniors, then I would have done it the way you did.

Was more down to situation then some tactical thing. But there are some advantages of doing it this way as you get more experience points and overall you train more players and there should have more money down the track. Mind you your top players might have lower skills, so I address that as I go. Might just put more money into seniors or something.
